DRINK THIS: Mai Tai. Trader Vic’s has the very best ones in city. Served over crushed ice, they taste even better during happy hour on Thursdays.

The famous Trader Vic's Mai Tai

EAT THIS: Seafood. Go ahead and splurge on the wok-fried lobsters, scallops, and prawns. Another good option is anything from the woodfire oven, especially the Indonesian rack of lamb. And do start with some Polynesian-inspired appetizers though, such as crab rangoon or BBQ spare ribs.
